Re: Container gardening

From the Whatever it is Worth Department:
    "Creating & Planting Garden Troughs" is the bible of hypertufa troughs. For safety, for building, curing and using. Not just the mechanics, but the art of as well. My wife will be teaching classes on hypertufa trough making 3 weekends in September here at the nursery. This book will be on the reference sheet for every student to take home with them.
    She has numerous troughs and containers in her gardens and raised beds. I have several hypertufa containers in my shade garden, some purchased and some I have made myself. Always refer back to our copy of Fingerhut and Murfitt book.

The trough is a classic and elegant type of container. You might want to look at "Creating and Planting Garden Troughs" by Joyce Fingerut and Rex Murfitt (B. B. Mackey Books, 1999). The authors give complete information on making and planting troughs and using them in the landscape. Rock garden plants and methods are emphasized. For a review copy, get in touch with me. Excerpts from the book are available on www.Amazon.com .
I am the editor and publisher of the book, which was named a Book of the Year 2000 by the American Horticultural Society.
 
Thanks for the opportunity to mention it!
